I just did a scan, and found the c: in SRC_GET.BAT. Argh, if CMD would only let you pass the output of one command as a parameter to another. Or, if the CD command allowed you to pass a complete pathname instead of a path only on the current drive. The C: is there to set the drive where the EMBEDINC directory is assumed to be. I guess the installation program should create additional variables like EMBEDINC_DRIVE and EMBEDINC_PATH for this purpose.
